Introduction Center Channel Plus Placement
Center Channel Plus is a two-way
acoustic-suspension speaker
system optimized for use as the
center channel speaker in a Dolby
®
Digital
or Dolby® Pro Logic
®
Surround system. Its four 3"
woofers and ring-radiator tweeter
provide the performance and
power-handling appropriate to the
finest home theater systems.
Center Channel II is a similar
speaker featuring two 3" woofers
instead of four.
For both the Center Channel Plus
and the Center Channel II, use the
“SMALL” center channel setting of
a Dolby Digital decoder. Also for
both speakers, use the “NORMAL”
setting of a Dolby Surround with
Pro Logic decoder. Both of these
settings direct low-bass sound to
the left and right main speakers or
the subwoofers.
Because a primary purpose of the
center channel is to keep dialog
firmly centered on the TV screen, a
center channel speaker should be
placed in close proximity to the TV
set as shown in Figure 1. Both of
our center channel speakers are
magnetically shielded to allow this
placement without distorting the
picture.
